The M. Toulouse Wilamina Pro Dressage saddle rises quicker from the back center of the seat to the front center (seat bones to pubic bone) which makes it a great choice for riders who feel the majority of dressage saddle pitch them forward. Cut out at the top of the panel system for additional shoulder rotation, and an elastic section in the point billet stabilizes the saddle both laterally and longitudinally on the horses back. Made with Professional leather, a bridle leather that has been heavily oiled in the tanning process making it feel soft, supply and broken in from the very first ride (plus it wears like iron). Wide gullet, wool flocked STP panel system and short surface block make for a very comfortable, secure ride for both horse and rider.
We recommend SUPPLE Leather Cleaner and Conditioner for all of our MTL Products. There is no right or wrong product, but we recommend that you keep conditioners away from the seats of the saddles as much as possible, as using some conditioners more often than a couple of times a month can lead to over-softening of the already soft seat-leather, creating wrinkles. Wiping down with a soft cloth or damp sponge is usually enough for day to day care, SUPPLE Leather Cleaner and Conditioner (Available at www.suppleleathercleaner.com) when the leather needs a bit more, and condition if the saddle is used during inclement weather (immediately after the ride) and allow it to dry thoroughly before riding again. Local professionals can guide you through the many products available for cleaning and conditioning, but it’s not necessary to over-do the products on a daily basis. MTL Saddles are soft and comfortable from the beginning, and as long as you keep the leather clean and supple, your saddle should last a long time.
